353: Transcendent Stage Expert

The scalding tea water soaked half of Si Zhenfeng's trouser leg, but he felt no pain.

At his Rank, 100-degree high temperature could no longer harm him.

But the shock and fear in his heart made him dizzy.

“The Gun Emperor is being controlled…”

“An Emperor-Ranked Professional can actually be controlled?”

“Who on earth has this ability?”

Si Zhenfeng muttered while picking up the teacup.

His face was very pale, like a frightened Child.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Liang comforted him, “Saint Si, don’t panic. I’m just guessing, and I don’t have concrete evidence yet. Everything still needs to wait for the Imperial Guards…”

Before Zhang Liang could finish speaking, Si Zhenfeng waved his hand and said, “Great Master Zhang Liang, I think you guessed correctly. In fact, Zhang Lingxiao also had the same suspicion.”

Zhang Liang said nothing, signaling Si Zhenfeng with his eyes to continue.

Si Zhenfeng poured himself some tea again and said,

“Before the last offshore conflict, we contacted the Gun Emperor.”

“He said at the time that he would support Tingtao City, but in the end, he still didn’t come.”

“Although he later replied to the message, saying that he encountered a space-time turbulence in the Annihilation Sea, I still became suspicious.”

“Later, I had Zhang Lingxiao use his methods to probe him.”

“From the hexagrams, the Gun Emperor had not betrayed us, but there was a slight anomaly.”

Zhang Liang’s eyes lit up, and he said, “What anomaly?”

“His destiny is there, but there is no Soul in his destiny,” Si Zhenfeng said.

“Destiny without a Soul…”

Zhang Liang nodded silently, “It seems my guess is correct.”

Although he was a product of the Supreme Emperor profession, he was derived from Eastern culture, so these four words were not difficult for him to understand.

The Gun Emperor was not dead, but his body no longer belonged to him.

Or rather, he could not control himself.

“There must be many ways to manipulate a person, right?”

Zhang Liang asked Si Zhenfeng. He still couldn't be familiar with the professions of this world.

Si Zhenfeng thought for a moment and said, “There are many ways to manipulate dead people, but the only way to manipulate living people is through illusion arts.”

At this, his body couldn't stop trembling. He lowered his head, as if talking to himself.

“But, to control an Emperor-Ranked Professional with illusion arts…”

“How powerful must the other party be?”

“Could it be them?”

“Are they still in the world?”

Zhang Liang raised his hand to stop Si Zhenfeng’s mumbling and asked, “Who are they?”

Si Zhenfeng looked up and said, “The Nine War Gods who led humanity out of disaster.”

“Oh.” Zhang Liang nodded and said, “That makes sense then.”

Seeing Zhang Liang so calm, Si Zhenfeng wondered, “Great Master Zhang Liang, aren’t you panicking?”

Zhang Liang smiled and retorted, “Isn’t it just the Transcendent Tier? So what?”

Zhang Liang was still very clear about the basic knowledge of this world.

It is said that the earliest Nine War Gods of humanity all ascended from the Emperor Tier to the Transcendent Tier and left this world.

Therefore, apart from the occasionally manifesting True God, the Emperor Tier became the ceiling of combat power in the world.

And in these more than four hundred years, there has not been a single public case of an Emperor Tier ascending to the Transcendent Tier.

Therefore, when mentioning the Transcendent Tier, Si Zhenfeng could only think of the former myths, the Nine War Gods.

But what was there to panic about?

Isn't the Transcendent Tier also below the True God?

In front of the current Supreme Emperor, the advantage is not significant.

Due to Qin Yang’s decree, Zhang Liang could not casually reveal Qin Yang’s current identity.

He could only comfort Si Zhenfeng from another angle: “Saint Si, don’t be too anxious. If the Gun Emperor is controlled by illusion arts, then it will be much easier to handle. Your Majesty still has an illusion Great Master by his side.”

“An illusion Great Master? Who? How does he compare to a Transcendent Tier expert?”

Si Zhenfeng’s eyes lit up, and his confidence greatly increased.

Anyone Zhang Liang called a “Great Master” would certainly not be weak.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, “She has no Rank, but she is also a mythological figure.”

“A mythological figure? A True God?”

Si Zhenfeng was stunned, then suddenly realized.

He remembered that at the Sage inauguration ceremony, Qin Yang publicly summoned the Holy Light Goddess.

He slapped his thigh and said, “Sigh, I was scared silly! I almost forgot, His Majesty also has the Holy Light Goddess’s protection!”

Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head, no longer explaining, saying, “Just relax, and let’s watch the strong enemies turn to ashes together.”

...Wilderness Nation, Desert Oasis, Crying City.

A group of Childs, facing a dilapidated ancient city, prayed with their heads bowed.

Their whispers were dense and urgent, sounding like scriptures.

But the expressions of these people were not as calm as other monks.

They lowered their heads, their eyes hidden in the shadows of their eye sockets.

Their facial muscles were tense, their mouths opening and closing rapidly, as if whispering in the devil’s ear.

The eerie chanting floated above the ancient city.

Casting a shadow over the dilapidated ruins.

Just then, the space vibrated.

A black-purple lightning bolt struck the highest ruin in the ancient city.

A violent flash of light erupted, and dust rose.

After everything returned to calm, a figure could be seen slowly standing up on the ruins, leaning on a long spear.

At the same time, a vertical eye, with black-purple mist, appeared behind him.

“Praise be to you! Omniscient Eye!”

The Childs all raised their hands to their foreheads, making a triangular gesture, while praising their only True God.

The person holding the spear scanned the entire scene. Although he had an Eastern face, he wore the standard expression of a Child.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, revealing endless greed and evil thoughts.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

“I am Luo Fu Child.”

“The body I occupy belongs to Zheng Yunfei, the Gun Emperor of Jiuzhou.”

“By the divine will of the only True God, the Omniscient Eye, I will use this body to lead you to destroy Jiuzhou!”

As soon as these words came out, all the Childs were stunned.

Luo Fu Child!

He was the founder of the Child clan!

It was he who brought the faith of the Omniscient Eye, causing the True God to descend.

It was he who expanded the surname “Child” into a nation.

It was he who led the Nine War Gods to repel the Demon God and ascend to the Transcendent Tier.

In the eyes of the Childs, if this world needed a king to rule, it must be their ancestor, Luo Fu Child.

“With the descent of the Divine Emissary, how can Jiuzhou not be destroyed?”

“Lin Xuan killed our clansmen, we will make Jiuzhou flow with blood!”

“It’s just a pity that my Divine Emissary can only possess the body of a Jiuzhou Professional. That despicable body defiles our noble Soul!”

“We will remember the sacrifice of the Divine Emissary! The Childs will win!”

For a time, the Childs cheered with joy.

With the descent of the Transcendent Tier, the Emperor Tier was no longer the ceiling of combat power.

In not much time, this world would prostrate itself at the feet of the Childs.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Light Divine Realm.

Qin Yang, whose head was resting on the Holy Light Goddess’s lap, sat up with a look of surprise.

“What! Child?”

“Among the Nine War Gods, there’s such a thing?”
